    @XboxWire Can we please get a system installed onto Xbox to prevent people from hitting us with a ddos attack I’d like to return to overwatch one of theses days on xbox

  • JohnRobson18 John Robson (@JohnRobson18) reported

    @Xbox Overwatch latency in Middle East is horrid. Ps5 is fine so Xbox servers are the issues.

  • ErikRedd4 zestyy.mp4 (@ErikRedd4) reported

    @BlizzardCS Bought overwatch on my pc a few days ago, but I haven't played in a few days. When I tried to sign in tonight it said that my login session expired, so I had to reset my password. After logging in, all of my friends were unadded and I didn't own the game anymore.

  • bocaabeer mercy ‧₊˚✧ fb or i unfollow (@bocaabeer) reported

  • ShayShifta Shay Shifta (@ShayShifta) reported

    @shelbygraced I love that idea. I'm going to do that when I'm streaming Overwatch quickplay games and someone in the group of randoms I'm with starts up some trouble. Is it weird to say "lmao" out loud? I hope so.

  • pannick3d PanNicked (@pannick3d) reported

    I think at this point I'm going to slowly step away from @HyperScapeGame and only play a few games with friends until they fix the balance of the game. It's incredibly painful to try to push through with 0 to almost no communication on the future of the game. Overwatch time. :)

  • jujumhsc34 Julian laporte (@jujumhsc34) reported

    @PlayApex @PlayApexFRA @EAHelp please fix the audio in your game so many games wasted because no audio from the third team no footsteps audio no ultimate audio etc We do love your game but if you don't want to lose your community like overwatch please listen to us#ApexLegends

  • Unstablee_ Sage (@Unstablee_) reported

  • artemmys_ow brigitte main (@artemmys_ow) reported

    @javiete26121 @gaymessyhair @OWAnonymous_ No correlation... i made an overwatch twitter bc i want to know everything about overwatch. But i dont use it to login to the game and be a smurf 🥴

  • AmSamdan ً (@AmSamdan) reported

    @TheYappo_ That’s literally overwatch in a nutshell, i try to be nice and tell them that its just not working and boom theyre jumping off the map😐

  • EquitableGamer Questioning Your Morality (@EquitableGamer) reported

    @MsAshRocks Just started Valorant. Not bad, been a while since I played aim-heavy games. Mostly Overwatch. The problem is I am east coast and that 9pm PST, yeah I got 2-year-old twins, so... Really sad all these bomb-*** black women wanting players and yall are all west coast haha

  • TayShinobi 𝘒𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘯 ♛ (@TayShinobi) reported

    I can’t even play overwatch anymore without being threaten with a ddos attack

  • SeriousAverage SeriouslyAverageGamers (@SeriousAverage) reported

    @1anre @Colteastwood For me? No not really. But I know that Splatoon is quite popular, and it gives you access to a load of old SNEA titles and stuff. Overwatch and Fortnite I guess as well? But yeah, their online service isn't good at all haha

  • MeerkatSceptre Meerkat (@MeerkatSceptre) reported

    Overwatch, please upgrade your equipment to be able to detect when games crash and not just automatically suspend them cause of it. espesially when the game hasnt even started yet. 15 min ban cause my game crash before doors opened which resulted in the game ending. like come on.

  • DamienBoath Damien (@DamienBoath) reported

    @BlizzardCS hey is your Overwatch update server down? I can't update and doing a tracert and ping on 24.105.62.129 fails once it reaches LA from Australia.

  • Nearly_Gnarly GNARLY (@Nearly_Gnarly) reported

    Right now there are only two good games to play rn apex and overwatch. Both arent just all aim no brain. But ow has a **** community and apex just has consistently **** bugs and server issues. They both have the potential to be the best

  • loonativity moon. ❍ (@loonativity) reported

  • DJK1NG_Gaming DJK1NG_Gaming - Edens Zero & Destiny Lovers! 🇭🇹 (@DJK1NG_Gaming) reported

    @TrialoftheDRGN Nope. Never once experienced issues on Pokemon Sword online on my end. I also play a lot of Third Party online games on Switch such as Overwatch, Rogue Company and Ninjala. No issues there. Even Smash Bros. whenever I do hop online I have no issues.

  • STAR2D2_ STAR2D2 (@STAR2D2_) reported

    Saying one tricks ruin your Overwatch games is a bad take and you’re part of the problem if you think that 👏

  • highground_god J. (@highground_god) reported

    @ItzJaneyy Kinda the issue with all pvp games rn. I often feel the same way towards Valorant, Siege and Overwatch.

    @mattswider Hi Matt! Have you heard of other users having problems with wifi while playing online games (overwatch, nba2k? As example). Worked fine for a week but know so laggy cannot play. Ps4 still works via same wireless setup. Solved issue by using LAN via tplink.
